Who we are
Dave is an electrical engineer who retired from City Utilities of Springfield (February, 2006), a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering graduate of Clarkson College ’71 (New York). He is also a computer tinkerer, plays with networking and UNIX (Ubuntu on a older laptop), owns an Explorer-85 S-100 8085 computer, a couple of Kaypros, and boasts a low ICQ #211334. He is also an extra class ham radio operator with the call sign NE0B, first licensed in 1961 at the tender age of 12. Dave speaks German, enough Italian to survive in Sicily, (and a little Ozarkian too). He is a World of Warcraft regular with eight level 85 characters. Dave bicycles through the Ozarks on a recumbent and is currently president of the Springbike Bicycle Club. Check out our bicycling page. He’s also an active computer gamer, but not quite as good as he once was. Here’s his World of Warcraft page. Professionally, he serves on the Southwest Power Pool Regional [Reliability] Entity Board of Trustees which keeps his brain from turning completely to mush.

Andrew is 11 minutes older than Anthony. Can you tell Andrew from Anthony? Click here to see. These two are now terrorizing Columbia, Missouri disguised as University of Missouri students. Andrew graduated with a B.A. in Psychology (and is now working on Pharmacy/Law ?), while Anthony majors in English and will recite poems to you endlessly. (So you think there’s more college in their futures?) They both still play indoor soccer and Ultimate Frisbee to keep in shape. When not playing, they're making pizza at Shakespeare's. Anthony finally graduated with a B.A. in English in 2011. (Will he ever be Dr. Anthony?)
